Thankfully, no! The facilities we work with are issued a special medical tourism pass to ensure a hassle-free border crossing. Our private medical transport van will easily and safely drive you across the border both to and from Tijuana.

We believe so! While Mexico faces a variety of challenges like any other developing nation, the country is unique in its proximity and familiarity with Americans and American customs and has benefitted greatly from decades of favorable trade. The result is a generally friendly and welcoming neighbor to the South with a massive infrastructure for providing lower priced medical procedures specifically to Americans. We believe the service and quality of care meet or exceed those found in the U.S., with customer service and overall experience often far exceeding U.S. standards.

All of our client coordinators and surgeons speak English and there is always a fluent English-speaking staff member on the floor at all times (even after hours). People often forget how close Tijuana is to the U.S. and how intertwined the two communities and economies are. The result is a local population with many proficient English speakers. Between our dedicated English-speaking staff and others at the hospital, you’ll always find yourself with someone thoughtful to speak to.

Yes! All rooms are equipped with a sleeper sofa to accommodate a guest throughout your stay. Your client coordinator will let him or her know of the local resources available and make sure to introduce them to all staff members should you need anything. Please keep in mind that your companion can stay for free, but their meals are not included.

We do not provide airfare. You are responsible for your travel to San Diego and back home from San Diego. Once you have your flight info, you send it to us so we can pick you up at the airport and take you to your chosen surgical facility in Tijuana.

We have you covered. Transportation to and from the airport is on us. One of our dedicated drivers will pick you up from the airport and take you directly to your chosen surgical center in Tijuana and will return you to the airport when you’re done.

The risks of a complication vary by surgical procedure. Your bariatric surgeon will review the potential risks and complications with you before surgery. If you have a complication after discharge from the hospital, your bariatric surgeon and their teams will assist you in solving the issue.
